The Music Playing Taser?

from the don't-mp3-me,-bro dept

Engadget and Gizmodo are shoveling post after post on this week's CES (aren't they supposed to help us cut through all the noise, rather than adding to it?) and it occurred to me that it makes almost no sense for anyone to launch new consumer electronics products this week. There's no way to stand out against the zillion other product releases. Even if you can get a post on one of the gadget blogs, you're probably off of the front page in 30 seconds or so. However, one way to stand out and get some attention is to come up with what may be the most ridiculous combination of gadgets out there: a taser holster that includes a 1GB mp3 player. I'm not quite sure what this is saying? Are police officers supposed to be enjoying their tunes as they tase someone into submission? And I'm not even going to touch on the fact that the latest Taser devices are now available in stylish leopard print skins. There's been a ton of controversy over just how dangerous taser devices really are... and their response is to offer an MP3 player and more stylish devices? Seems like a bit of a disconnect.

No kidding. Those idiots at Engadget have spammed my reader with more than 400 items in the last day and I haven't cared about a single fucking one. Do I really need to know about the latest idiotic cell phone THE MOMENT THEY LOOK AT IT? No.

Zap-fizzle

I hope for self protection, that this device's battery system has better separation than the Boeing 787's network. You could be jamming to Inner Circle and get attacked and the tazer doesn't have enough power to zap the perp. A sad day indeed!

I call dibs...

Re: Re: Re: Leopard Print Taser

Humor? Yeah if that is what it is called.

What does this mean? Are you trying to make a point? I don't understand what you are saying. Maybe it makes sense in your head, but if you're going to put it up for other people to read, could you please be more clear? Thanks! :)

Taser for women

1. I think it's cool
2. I would consider for my girlfriend
3. It's a single shot model (one shot included, additional 'shots' are sold separately), and they send you a free replacement if you use it in a scenario that results in a police report.
4. Including something people might use like an mp3 player might get broader penetration than the actual device would otherwise achieve.
5. I have no affiliation with Taser; i'm just a geek at heart, possibly with bad taste.
